Impressively compact, lightweight, and comfortable to use, Panasonic's 15.6-volt drill/driver fits into tight spaces where other bulkier drills won't. The 3 amp NiMH batteries deliver impressive run time per charge, which is a big plus, especially if you need a tool for continuous use. What about power? This Panasonic packs up to 390 inch-pounds of torque--as much (if not more) than anyone needs in a cordless tool. The motor's electronic speed control allows full torque at any speed, so you can apply full torque while still maintaining control. The tool's dual speed ranges are 65 to 450 and 200 to 1,450 rpm. The 1/2-inch chuck takes bigger bits. The first thing you notice about this tool, however, is how compact it is (the chassis measures only 8-1/2 inches) and how comfortable it feels in your hand. The soft pad grip provides extra cushion and the tool's balance is superb, two important features if you wield a cordless day in and day out. The tool lacks an onboard bit holder, but that's about all it lacks. This drill is a smart buy for plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and even woodworkers--in short, anyone who wants a small, compact drill that packs a lot of torque and is built to last. The package includes a 45-minute universal charger and a hard-plastic carrying case. --Jon Groebner

 panasonic drill October 6, 2008

When the battery on my Dwalt finally gave up the fight, I checked Consumer Reports for a good replacement. The Panasonic drill that I bought has seen plenty of use in the short time that I've had it. I have only good things to say about the way it's performed so far. I highly recommend this drill!
 expensive but worth it June 28, 2008

Pros:
1/2" chuck, high torque at lower speeds, compact, comfortable grip, chuck stays tight and is easy to use, quality built for professional use.
Cons: Motor gets hot, especially at lower speeds. somewhat heavy and makes an unusual noise at lower speeds.
It's more money than I wanted to invest in a drill but if it continues to work well and the battery packs last, I'll be happy.
Buy it, you won't be sorry May 12, 2008

I've owned a lot of Panasonic electronics and have had nothing but great luck with all of them, so I figured I'd take a chance with this drill. It is much better than the one I had before. It has enough power to do all the household jobs I've used it for so far. The batteries (comes with 2) charge quickly and last long. I highly recommend this drill for any homeowner.
A really good cordless drill February 18, 2007

I'm hard on tools. I occasionally "nudge" pieces I'm gluing and screwing, for instance, with the battery end of a cordless drill. My old Milwaukee 16v drill cost me $0.00 and lasted through 5 years of hard use and abuse. I wanted a powerful, solid but slightly more compact and lightweight drill to replace it when it finally gave up the ghost (nonreplacable brushes, I think), and this Panasonic was my choice. At $0.00 with 2 batteries it's a good deal. It feels good in the hand, and has a lot of torque at low speed, good for starting big unpiloted screws. I like the "click" of the chuck as I lock in a bit.
Bought a Second One! February 5, 2007

I previously gave this drill a 'glowing' review and my enthusiasm hasn't diminished one iota in the interim. In fact, I recently purchased a second Panasonic drill to replace an older Bosch that is coming to the end of its battery life (NiCads--ugh!) and the new drill is every bit as good as I anticipated.
Having two of these drills to work with is now pure joy. I used to have to make a choice between the Panasonic and the Bosch based on the amount of power I needed, but no more. Now I can put whatever accessory I want into either drill and not have to be concerned with whether or not the drill can handle the job.
Once again, I can highly recommend this drill to anyone looking for a reliable, heavy-duty, and relatively light-weight cordless drill.
